ELA/R contributes to migrant student success by developing data content specific academies in reading and writing in order for students to be successful on STAAR and EOCs. Through small group and hands-on instruction, students acquire knowledge and skills through targeted instructional routines that students can use to achieve academic success. Some common areas of targeted student development include: 1. Structure and Elements of Fiction: The focus for students attending is on fiction format and literary elements that emerge as areas of need. 2. Structure and Elements of Expository Text: Students focus on organizational patterns and devices specific to expository text. 3. Expository Writing: This writing workshop emphasis is on the expository structure key elements students need in order to achieve mastery of the expository writing task.
